Alcohol Tipping Point

On this episode of the podcast, I welcome Carrie May. Carrie is an Emergency Department Nurse Practitioner and a certified Addiction Recovery Coach (IAPRC) with a She Recovers designation. She is the Founder of both Brave and Chicago AF, her nonprofit sober community which hosts weekly support meetings and alcohol free social events.

• The stigma of drinking problems in healthcare and what needs to change
• What Carrie sees in the ER related to alcohol
• What adventure recovery coaching is
• The power of napping as self-care and other approaches towards anxiety
